OKLAHOMA CITY — Tyrese Haliburton is going to play in Game 6. “It’s the Finals, man,” Haliburton said. “I’ve worked my whole life to be here and I want to be out there to compete. Help my teammates any way I can.”

Tyrese Haliburton was clearly injured during the Pacers' Game 5 loss in Oklahoma City. He was reported to be dealing with a lower leg injury, and he kept grabbing his calf. The Pacers needed Haliburton to be better than what he was because they weren't able to survive without him.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed during his post-game press conference that Haliburton is playing through an injury.

The Thunder are one win from their first NBA title since the team moved from Seattle in 2008. The Pacers are on the brink of elimination.
